Prices up to 85% lower than high street banks

As a new WorldFirst customer you will be allocated a 0.5% FX fee if you open an International Payments Account and a 0.6% fee if you open an International Collection Account.

Your conversion volume will be reviewed as you transact and you will be re banded accordingly so you can benefit from better pricing as you convert more.

Your FX fee is fixed for the period of time you are transacting with us at the corresponding volume and will only be applied to future transactions.

Any new fixed fee cannot be applied to past transactions.

Your fixed fee will be reviewed at the end of every quarter (which will be completed by the end of April, July, October and January) and will be changed in line with the last 12 months transaction volume at the time of review.

You will receive an email to the primary contact address we have for you on record notifying you of any changes.

Example: If you are an International payments corporate account holder, your fee is 0.5% and you transact more than £500k but less than £5M within 12 months, your FX fee will be reduced to 0.25% after the next assessment. If your fee is currently 0.25% and you transfer more than £5M your fee will be reduced to 0.15% after the next assessment.

FX fee: the FX fee is the percentage difference between the exchange rate we buy our currency at and the rate at which we sell it to our customers. We at WorldFirst take a smaller margin than most banks, and pass this benefit on to our clients.

Payment fee: cost charged to customers when processing a payment. FX fees are incorporated into your exchange rate, whereas payment fees are charged based on the size of each payment, on top of the FX fee.
